USE CARE when transporting fuel tank, whether in a boat or car.

DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum capacity. Gasoline will expand considerably as it warms up and can build up pressure in the fuel container. This can cause fuel leakage and a potential fire hazard.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When transporting and storing the outboard motor, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard motor to prevent fuel from leaking.

Never get under the outboard motor while it is tilted. Severe injury could occur if the outboard motor accidentally falls.

Do not use the tilt support lever or knob when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose from the tilt support and fall. If the outboard motor cannot be trailered in the normal running position, use an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position.

When storing or transporting the outboard motor, make sure to follow the procedure listed below.
